Sportman's IQ Test
Ok let's see who has a high Sportman's IQ. Answer the questions below
1. While hunting for deer on a ranch you come upon a corral full of deer. Should I?
(a) shoot as many deer as possible while they are defenseless in the corral, take pictures while the slaughter is going on, and then brag to other
like-minded sportmen what a great hunter you are. or
(b) Admire the beautiful defenseless deer, snap a few pics, and then continue on your way to hunt for deer in their natural environment.
2.While out bow fishing you came apon a hatchery stocked so full of large trout you could walk across them. Should I?
(a) shoot as many trout with a bow & arrow as possible, taking pictures while the slaughter is on, and then brag to other like-minded sportmen
what a great archer/hunter you are? or
(b) Admire the beautiful defenseless trout, snap a few pics, and then continue your hunt for fish in their natural environment.
3. While out tuna fishing you came apon a tuna growout pen stocked with many large bluefin. These bluefin are use to being fed by their handlers.
Should I?
(a) While parking your boat in the middle of the pen, catch on rod and reel as many bluefin as possible. Then take a bunch of pictures of these
stolen, illegally fileted fish laughing while the slaughter is on. While at it disparage the culture of the nationality of the owners. Then brag to
other like-minded sportmen what a great fisherman you are? or
(b) Admire the beautiful defenseless bluefin, snap a few pics, and then continue your hunt for tuna in their natural environment.
I know one boat and its passengers that would have answered (a) to one of these Sportman's IQ Test questions.
I have a hard time believing so many see no unsportmanship in this behavior. What are we coming to?

Every year here in Iowa we have the poacher who shots a big buck and drives around his town bragging. Has a great time until the DNR shows up and
charges him. Never understood the fun in taking a wild animal unsportingly or jusy for a trophy. I never kill unless it will be consumed. These
people should be charged with a severe penalty in my opinion.

Don't Hunt or Fish.
And I like to believe that all of the Beef, Pork, Fish and Fowl I eat are taken on the open range (or ocean) by Sportsmen dedicated to giving said
table fodder a sporting chance.
I'm sure that's true.
Amazing that they can provide so much at such a good price.
